Introduction to Arguments
Actions and commands that OliveTin runs, without arguments, are generally quite safe - only that command can be run, without modifications. However, many users need the flexibility to set options on that command - normally called command line arguments. In OliveTin, arguments are defined in a shell commands like echo {{ message }}, with a bit of extra configuration.
Examples of valid argument names are {{ personName }}, {{ customer_number }} and {{ ISBN11_code }}.

-
